Project

Michael Dudeck WITCHDOCTOR’s RELIGION project involves the invention of a queer religion and prehistory which re-imagines the nature of human origins. Amygdala, the second installment of a ten-year cycle (now entering it’s fourth year) dealt with the rituals of a fictive sect of a female warrior cult within the mythology. Featuring 13 performers who enact a procession of soldier/priestesses, and Dudeck himself performing as the hermaphroditic religious leader reciting portions of a sacred text in an invented language, this video chronicles the events of the 3 hour durational performance.
